Displaying Markers
The Marker number at any playback location is
indicated in the display. If there is no Marker
number in the current location, then the closest
preceding Marker number is displayed. If there
are no markers in the song, “—” is indicated. If
“***” is shown in the display, it indicates that
although there are markers placed in the song, the
current location is before the first marker.

About Marker Numbers
Each marker is assigned a number 000-999, in the
order of its time location. This means that if you
add a new marker at a location earlier than an
existing marker, the numbers of the subsequent
markers will be incremented.
